BOTHScaley spots on ears when in a flair..anyone?

Starting with a really bad case of mono which damaged my liver (non-alchololic fatty liver)--then morphing into CFS & FM, I've always gotten these rough, itchy, scaley spots on my ears when in a flair or crash. All the doctors I've mentioned this to have scoffed this off like I was nuts. But there is a definite connection.

I've read different articles that says the liver affects the outer ears; one mentioned that too much Vit. A affects the skin. Has anyone else heard or experienced this? Do you know WHAT causes it?

And just about all the time. My doctor prescribes Beta-Val cream 0.1%, which I think has a low cortizone content. I have had to use it for years...although, some of the time even a good lotion does the job.

I have weird skin that likes cheaper lotions, certain soaps, and I never seem to know what anything is caused by, but I've had umpteen rashes and bumps. Since I am getting older my skin is getting dryer, so I'm sure that's a lot of the problem. I'm allergic to many things (antibiotics, lotions, deoderant, shampoo, hairspray, etc.) I get a closet full of things I can't use.

Through the years I've learned to accept that my skin IS weird. And I never know when I'll find something that it loves. My dermatologist (sp) died, and now I know he was worth his weight in gold, I miss him so much. You might want to look up a good one.

I have never heard my liver mentioned as being damaged in any way. Hope you get your problems resolved.
